Understanding Women’s Issues Better Than Ever!

Women have been an instrumental part in the evolution of the world yet the importance that they are subjected to is negligible in the society. They have always been struggling to make their voices heard be it the field of politics, education, sports or any other genre. Women have always been taken for granted as the significant role they play in the society has always been overlooked. Every day you read about women’s issues in the newspapers and magazines but those printed words are merely left alone there to go in the dumps.

There have been several women’s issues that need to be addressed like women’s health issues or issues about woman suffrage and their education as well as safety. It is very important for the society to change their perceptions about women and perceive them as equals to the men. A nation runs on a balanced economy and if any one of the contributors of the economy fails, then the entire nation fails as a result. At a pace where everyone is progressing in this 21st century, it is important for everyone to rid of the dogma that is hindering the advancement of the nation towards a healthier one.

The medical facilities have not at all been appropriate in the rural areas and there is a dearth of good hospitals where everyone can be meted out an equal and affordable treatment. A woman has been gifted with the boon of evolving new life inside her and hence when a women’s health is at risk then her children indirectly too become prone to such risks. Malnutrition due to poverty is one of the leading causes due to which women face complications during pregnancy.

Not having a proper diet also increases the risk of anaemia in women due to lack of iron in the diet. Besides that, women should also get clean and hygienic sanitation facilities especially in villages and semi-rural areas because this prevents the chances of a lot of infections in women.

A woman has to be mentally and physically prepared to be able to give birth to a child because young females giving birth with several complications take a toll on their health as well. This leads to a lot of unlikely hormonal changes and mental trauma or depression at a very tender age. Therefore, gender sensitivity has to be adhered to at the earliest possible manner. And provisions for women health clinic should be made all over the nation even in the remote areas to ensure that no woman is deprived of good health care amenities.
